Protocol hessian

This protocol calculates and prints Hessian, the matrix of second derivatives of the energy. By default, it also writes it to a file that can be used as an input for the calculation of vibrational frequencies. Translational and rotational degrees of freedom are projected out from the calculated Hessian.

# This calculates Hessian of a water molecule (the geometry was previously
# optimized at this level). In addition to printing the Hessian in the output,
# it is also saved to file 'hessian.yaml' for further use.
